We are building an equine learning community. In this equine community horse owners can find whole horse orientated professionals who are interested in working in teams, are open minded and up to date in their thinking and approach to sourcing new information. Our directory aims to bridge and integrate the world of equine professionals so that horse owners have a place to find highly skilled, highly competent and highly knowledgeable horse professionals from trimmers and farriers to vets, physio, saddlers and trainers.

By inviting equine professionals from outside the organisation we hope to broaden the skills and expertise within the organisation so that we can continue grow and develop our knowledge of whole horse health.
